I have two suggestions for civilians:

1. Possibly give the civilians pickup weapons like baseball bats, wood (two by fours), or maybe pipes. What ever is scattered around the battlefield. Possibly causing an opposing player to bleed out withing 2-3 hits and maybe death at 5 hits.

2. This one is kinda funny but can we get a chant option in the comm rose. Maybe 4-5 different chants we can play...I'm sure some guys around here would be more than willing to help you record some chants..LOL..

Anyways those are some of my suggestions.

Melee weapons. For civilians. Who can only be safely disposed of with knives by the conventional forces?

I dont think you've thought this one through.

In fact, as I havent used this image in a good long time, I'd go so far as to say:

I like the civilian chant idea. Taunt the troops chuck a stone and run. It wouldn't have much tactical value, but it might add some realism/fun.

It may work granted the developers balance it out with some tear gas and possibly some rubber bullets for the Brits/US in a future patch..It's not too uncommon in R/L...But who knows it's just a suggestion...

lol bob marley... youre great.
that wasnt a well thought out idea...
i think we just need to wait a bit and see how civies are furthered... i like them, but the fact that they do SO much damage with rocks (sure rocks hurt, but shit, if a civi was throwing rocks at me and it hurt THAT much, i think id blast the shit out of him, right? like, life endangerment? unarmed or not, if hes gonna kill me with rocks, hes gettin taken out)
I think there needs to be a way to unpunishably shoot civies if they throw rocks at you (NO idea how to do this) or make the rocks not do so much... ive seriously taken guys out in a few good throws... and thats... No Good!

I have hit the same person as many as 7 times with rocks with no indication of them being harmed whatsoever. The damage that they currently inflict is fine.

along with the taunt idea what about like a "i wanna help" or "follow me" in poor english so the civis could lead them into an ambush or w/e

I still say, Give the Brits/USMC forces fighting the insurgents a class with "non lethal" rounds. Maybe the Grenadier should have rounds that can "take out civs" as an extra ammo type.

Ive been hit (drawing blood hits) 3 or 4 times at what I thought was full health and died.

tear gas would work really well. make the civvies really easy to knife. for a non-combat class they have enough advantages

I've beaned a Rifleman in the back of the head with a rock after he got shot by my squad once or twice. It killed him. I just had to tea-bag him for the whole 30 seconds he'd be staring into the sky.

What the civvies need is a "Don't shoot!" in the 'Q' commands. This can work for both sides to solve the Friendly Fire issue and for civilians that come in peace.

Right now, civilians can be arrested regardless of wether they're bugging the UK or not. There should be a completely unarmed civilian class (NO STONES!) that can't be arrested, and just mills about aimlessly in addition to the current "Rioter".

UK civilians wouldn't work at all.. the UK sympathizers don't go and throw stones at insurgents, they'd just get shot because the insurgents don't care about public relations.
